(Episode 17)
What are you doing?
I'm here to die.
I'm not afraid of doing anything.
I can't leave.
I can't leave even if I die.
Why are you doing this?
Since I was a mistress,
I just can't stand...
to let my daughter live as a mistress too.
I lived on eggshells for years...
because I didn't want to be beaten to death by the legal wife.
I can endure it.
I could still endure everything even if I went back...
as long as my child would remain by a worthless mother like me.
I can bear it no matter what.
It's the police.
We came here after receiving a report.
Give us a chance just this once.
Please give us a chance!
Hello? It's the police.
Is something wrong?
I understand.
I've lived as a mistress myself.
I know that my daughter did wrong.
I understand that...
more than anyone else.
Therefore,
since I've lived my entire life as a wench anyway,
I will leave this world...
while carrying my daughter's sin on me.
So please have a heart just this once.
I'm begging you.
This won't change anything.
I'll pay for everything.
I'll pay for everything...
that my daughter did wrong.
Wait a minute.
Do you really have to do this?
Step aside.
I know how you feel. However...
You would never know how I feel.
No one...
can understand how I feel.
I understand!
I'm not that different myself.
After So Myung is born,
In the end, even I...
will become like you...
or someone else we know.
I don't want to admit it,
but that's true.
You,
Se Young,
and me.
This is the police.
Hello?
This is so annoying.
You talk to the police.
How long have you been waiting here?
It's not been that long.
You came back late.
Where's Sang Jin?
Well, he went home today.
I see.
Why don't you come in first?
I don't drink coffee, so...
It's okay. I'm fine.
But what brought you here? Have you been waiting for Sang Jin?
Well...
- Please have a seat. - Okay.
Aren't you going to meet Jung Hyo?
It's still...
difficult.
What do you mean?
I don't know.
I haven't realized that I'm in such a difficult relationship with her.
But still, you'd better meet her...
This is such a big problem.
I can't handle it alone.
Aren't you going to oppose to her giving birth to the baby?
I'm not sure about that either.
It's difficult.
I should be prepared though.
It doesn't matter if she gets an abortion or gives birth.
Isn't that what a dad should do?
Whatever choice Jung Hyo might make,
I should make it not hard for her.
Anyway,
Yes, go ahead.
I should ask Sang Jin,
but you should answer me since he's not here.
What do you want to ask?
What is Min Soo and Sang Jin's...
blood type?
Why do you want to know that?
I should know that.
To Jung Hyo and the baby... No,
to So Myung and Jung Hyo,
they've become the closest people.
Are you sleeping?
No.
Why did you do that?
I don't know.
Both you and Se Young...
seem to be like me.
Is it because of the story you heard from Min Soo?
I'm not sure,
but in the future,
I might go through a harder time...
than what you or Se Young have gone through.
As Min Soo told me,
it's already hard enough for us to take care of ourselves.
Since you've brought it up, let me ask you this.
How are you going to live after So Myung is born?
I don't know.
It's the most important matter,
but I can't think of an answer at all.
Put off the things you don't have an answer yet.
Even if you make a thorough plan, it can go awry.
Like Min Soo or Sang Jin?
Things didn't go as you had planned.
Will the same thing happen to me too?
Am I supposed to always get results...
less than I have expected?
That's the way it is in my life.
You also...
felt pity...
for Ok Ja, didn't you?
No.
I guess I'm curious.
What are you curious about?
About her...
and her mom.
Did you go home all right? You should have called me.
Trust me.
I will swallow my pride and hold out here.
Just wait.
(Water bill)
(Electric bill)
Why isn't she texting me back?
Mom, I'm sorry to ask you this,
but can I borrow 1,000 dollars?
(Mom, I'm sorry to ask you this, but can I borrow 1,000 dollars?)
I'm really pathetic.
Gosh, seriously.
How dare you make your senior wait?
Hello.
I thought you were staying with Se Young.
By the way, where has Su Cheol gone?
What?
Was Su Cheol here?
Yes. It seemed like he wanted to have a talk with you.
So?
I told him just the things I know.
What do you know about me to tell him?
It was nothing important.
I decide if it's important or not, you idiot.
It was really nothing important.
Goodness.
Gosh, I'm late.
Goodness, that punk.
- Here you are. - Yes, sir.
- Have a nice day. - Thank you. Bye.
- It's five dollars. - Okay.
Do you...
happen to remember...
- one of your staff 10 years ago? - Who?
Her name is Oh Yeon Ji. 10 years ago,
she was about 37 years old.
Oh Yeon Ji?
Yeon Ji.
That reminds me. We worked together for a pretty long time.
She quit two years ago.
Then do you know where she went after she quit?
I'm not sure. I don't know where she went.
But she married the delivery guy...
and opened a Chinese restaurant.
I see.
You couldn't sleep, right?
Yes.
What about you?
Me neither.
Is it uncomfortable staying with me?
You said it yourself.
Old ladies aside from Mom...
are all difficult.
It must be from having two of them.
What are you going to do?
I'm not sure.
What should I do?
She's probably still here.
Take a shower in this room.
I'm probably less uncomfortable than the one outside.
There's no other way, right?
Yes. There's no other way.
I'll take a shower first.
It's bright outside. What are they still doing in bed?
It seems like Su Cheol...
wants to let Min Soo in.
I doubt it.
Why not? What's wrong with Min Soo?
Think about it.
Think about what we've caused until now.
I don't like it either.
I've always been against it,
and I'll continue to stay this way.
- Okay. Stop it. - Stop what?
You always get me upset and back out.
I'm already having enough trouble because of your smart friend.
Did he get upset again?
It was understandable.
He won't make much...
from doing nothing but tutoring.
He has never bowed to anyone,
so he won't be a good salesman either.
If you hate it so much, face it.
- What? - You were wrong for sure,
but you need to come to an agreement with your wife in that sense.
Yoo Yeon's done nothing wrong.
(Notice of enlistment)
(Han Min Soo)
Everything...
is making me become bitter.
You only have a month left.
Keep in mind that you'll live like this for the rest of your life.
This is killing me.
I should heat up the soup again.
- Sit down. - Pardon?
The soup's cold. I'll heat it up...
It's fine.
What are you doing? Why don't you sit down and eat?
Do you think I prepared it for you?
I've put in effort because I heard the young girl is pregnant.
Do you hear me?
Thank you. I will enjoy it.
It's good.
- Are you from Jeolla Province? - Yes.
Do you think it's delicious?
It's all right.
Don't eat too much. It's salty.
You were enjoying it.
No one would hurt you for saying that it's good.
I have a cooking license in Korean cuisine.
You think I can't make this?
People eat healthy nowadays.
They don't eat salty.
A license doesn't make food.
Your hands do.
Drink a lot of water.
Salty food isn't good for your baby.
- Okay. - The sun's up and high.
Who sleeps until now?
When I was young, as soon as roosters cried...
Are you here to nag?
"Nag"?
And old people said...
you don't bug even a dog when eating a meal.
- How could you... - Also, in the past,
people never ate on the same table with their children.
I heard children came up with that rule...
to avoid being nagged.
You prepared this meal for us to eat.
So leave us alone until we're done.
Aren't you going to eat?
Didn't you hear what I said?
Old people don't eat with young people.
Ms. Kim. Let's talk.
Okay.
You know your performance's been very low for months.
You're the worst in our branch.
And you lost one student when you don't even have many.
I'm sorry.
Let's try hard.
I don't even ask for much.
I wouldn't even complain...
if you just tried as much as other teachers.
Why don't you talk to your wife in person?
What? For money?
Are you out of your mind?
Texting her would upset her even more.
What? Why? Why do you think so?
Have you ever knelt to your wife?
No.
I would. You deserve it.
- What? - You shouldn't be proud.
- Mr. Han. - Yes.
The chairman told you to get a bottle of drink...
from a staff member as soon as you arrive in Shanghai.
Okay.
Mr. Han. Must we really listen to orders like this?
It's not the first time. Pretend you didn't see it.
I'm telling you because it's not the first time.
This is habitual smuggling.
Hey, punk.
Our lives are on his hands.
I need this job to at least consider if I should kneel or not.
Go get ready now.
Seriously. He can't even get his own job done.
He's too nosy.
How irresponsible.
What should we do now?
I don't know.
However,
she doesn't seem that bad as I thought.
She even cooked for us.
No.
She's worse than I thought.
It's not easy to take over...
someone else's kitchen.
The kitchen is a very special place...
for a woman who protects her family.
What's wrong?
I think I have an upset stomach.
You ate too much earlier.
I didn't eat too much because it was delicious.
I ate a lot for show. Don't get me wrong.
Why don't you take some medicine?
There probably aren't any.
Should I go to the pharmacy?
The pharmacy?
Yes, you said you have an upset stomach.
Should we go out?
To the pharmacy?
I think I'll be better if we go out.
Not to the pharmacy,
but to have some fun.
Where did she hide the rags?
(Gold prize, Han Min Soo)
Yoo Yeon needs to learn things at this age,
but we can barely afford kindergarten for her.
They are living so luxuriously.
I should be careful...
even when I go to the bathroom because of them.
- What is "Apple" in English? - Apple.
Then what is the color of apples?
Red?
- Can I take a phone call? - Yes.
I'll get you some fruit.
You should have called the minute you arrived.
I slept because I was tired.
I had a lot to do in the morning.
Okay.
I'll call you later.
I'm working right now.
Se Young.
- Yes? - I want to send...
a gift card to Yoo Yeon.
How do you do that?
Mom, you only use text messages.
It's complicated to do.
Can't you send it by text message?
That's not it.
Mom, I need to hang up.
I'll call you later.
Wait just a bit longer.
Even if we don't have any money, money will come out...
if we wait patiently.
What is wrong...
with this expensive house?
Where's the plunger?
Darn it.
Why doesn't this house have anything?
You don't look so good.
Are you sick?
That's not it.
Do you only have one bathroom?
Why?
By any chance,
do you have a plunger?
What's wrong?
Don't go in.
- Is it... - You shouldn't see this.
That's why I was asking for a plunger. I'll do it myself.
You're making such a mess.
This house only looks fancy on the outside.
It's not that nice.
We're going out. Take care of it until we come back.
How many things did you throw in the toilet?
You don't even have a trash can.
Turn the fan on.
Why are you laughing?
I'm sorry.
I know that it's a serious situation.
But I just feel good.
Why?
It finally feels like we're living like normal people.
I almost forgot about my situation for a moment.
I'm dumbfounded.
Do you think this is how normal people live?
I'm strange, aren't I?
To be honest,
I don't have a lot of memories of my mom.
It feels really good to receive...
lots of attention like this.
I guess older women...
aren't always that uncomfortable.
But...
she's older than you.
Do you think it will be okay to let her continue working?
Leave her alone.
It's hard to find a better way to control one's mind...
than doing housework.
Are you saying that you were being considerate?
It's too grand to call it being considerate.
What should we do anyway?
I'm not sure.
Do you want to go shopping?
That's totally out of the blue.
We have a lot on our minds too.
Shopping is also a good way to calm yourself.
This is so cute.
You shouldn't buy shoes before the baby is born.
- Why? - People say the baby will run away.
Gosh, do you believe that?
Better safe than sorry.
Seriously. You looked down on Ok Ja...
for being so old-fashioned.
The baby won't be able to wear it anyway.
It takes so long to walk.
You don't need this.
What is it this time?
Why would a baby wear clothes?
It only has to wear a romper.
You will have to wrap it up with this anyway.
And you shouldn't take the baby outside until it's 50 days old.
Why?
Babies know that their bodies are weak.
They increase their body temperature to strengthen their immune system.
Even a slight disease is dangerous.
Do you still want to take the baby outside?
Just look around for your clothes.
It's okay. I already have a lot of clothes.
You can't wear clothes like this when your belly becomes big.
The selection is limited,
but let's find a few things that won't show that you're pregnant...
as much as possible.
